Product Matrix

The defoaming coating additives market was valued at USD 748.0 Million in 2015, and is projected to reach USD 1,034.2 Million by 2021, at a CAGR of 5.6% between 2016 and 2021. The growing automotive and construction industries are boosting the growth of defoaming coating additives market, globally.

The growth in application markets such as automotive, industrial, and architectural where coating additives are extensively used owing to their ability to visually and chemically improve the performance of the coatings also acts as a driving factor for the defoaming coating additives market. Architecture is the major application for defoaming coating additives. The growing commercial and residential construction in Asia-Pacific is driving the demand for coating additives owing to the need of better protection of buildings.

Water-based defoamer is the fastest-growing type segment of the defoaming coating additive market. Water-based defoamers typically contain around 75-90% water. These defoamers are preferred by various end-user industries in comparison to oil-based defoamers (which mainly include mineral oil and vegetable oil) as they are free from hydrocarbon oils. Globally, silicone-based defoamers account for the highest consumption in the defoaming coating additives market as silicones have low surface and interfacial tensions which enables them to flow easily over the film.

The growing demand and policies encouraging emission control and development of environment-friendly products have led to innovation and developments in the industry, making Asia-Pacific region a strong chemical hub. Extensive growth and innovation, along with the industry consolidations, are expected to ensure a bright future for the defoaming coating additives industry in the Asia-Pacific region.

The rising demand for cleaner and greener formulations for coating and decorative needs is driving the growth of defoaming coating additives market. However, stringent environmental regulations and high loading levels of defoaming agents in industrial processes are some of the factors restraining the growth for the market.

Some of the major players in the defoaming coating additives market include Ashland Inc. (U.S.), BASF SE (Germany), BYK Additives & Instruments (Germany), Elementis Plc (U.K.), Evonik Industries AG (Germany), Momentive Performance Materials Inc. (U.S.), and Dow Corning Corporation (U.S.), among others. These companies have been focusing on new product launches to cater to the diverse needs of customers. Companies are also adopting acquisition as a growth strategy to increase their geographic presence and achieve growth in this market.
